[Charles Manson’s involvement in Scientology is well documented. So Jon Atack looked into a new theory of the Manson murders that is gaining a lot of traction and that for some reason completely ignores Manson’s interest in L. Ron Hubbard’s ideas.] Charles Manson and his ‘Family’ will always stir up fascination, because of the horrifying brutality of the slayings in Los Angeles in 1969, and the mythology that has been so dexterously spun around them.
Trying to place 'blame' on anyone but Charlie for his deeds is an exercise in blamestorming. Charlie was a product of his environment and his experiences. He was not a superman, or a devil, though he was one nasty criminal. Give Lron and his minions the devils due, he did influence Manson and was part of the crime scene tape that accompanied Charlie for too much of his life.
Jon's tome is a wonder piece of research and nails some of the personalities in the literary Manson world. Well done sir. Well done.
Tony. You really need to talk to Tom O’Neill. He is not some whackadoodle idiot. I can’t believe that all of this recent talk with Jon Atack is about this. Talk to Tom. He’s a good dude. He’s not trying to be a fucking Clickbait person. I really think the people are trying to discredit him for some weird ass reason.
Thanks Jon. Very detailed and thought provoking. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Scn had managed to steer ONeill away from looking at Scn AND suggested to him that Jolly was a psychopath

Very detailed and extraordinary work.
Well, Damm. Profound. Almost as a black hole.
Wow - I thought I was well-versed in the story of Manson, but the Scientology aspect is new to me. Wild.
